PREFACE 


IT  IS  hardly  necessary  to  state  here  why  one  should  build  one’s  own 
home;  why  it  is  better  to  own  than  to  rent — what  particular  advantages 
your  house  has  over  the  landlord’s.  Practical  reasons  for  building  are 
understood  by  most  people.  Briefly,  they  are  these: 

There  is  comfort  in  owning  your  own  home  impossible  to  secure  in  the 
average  house  built  to  rent.  This  is  brought  about  by  one  very  important 
condition — your  home  is  built  to  suit  your  individual  taste  and  require¬ 
ments.  In  fact,  it  is  a  reflection  of  yourself. 

Then,  after  comfort  comes  the  honest  pride  of  ownership.  We  all  love 
that  which  is  ours.  We  enjoy  planning,  building  and  arranging  the  new 
home,  and  we  derive  a  certain  amount?  of  pleasure  every  day  of  our  lives 
from  actually  possessing  the  home  which  shelters  our  family.  Property 
owners  are  always  considered  the  most  stable  members  of  a  community,  so 
whenever  we  become  property  owners,  in  however  small  degree,  we  take 
our  places  among  men  and  women  of  particular  importance. 

With  land  judiciously  selected  in  a  location  which  seems  to  promise 
increase  in  value,  and  with  a  new  house  attractively  designed  and  well-built 
(at  not  too  great  cost)  one  should  be  able  to  sell  later,  if  desired,  at  a  fair 
profit.  In  considering  the  home  project,  however,  do  not  adhere  too  rigidly 
to  the  dollars-and-cents  side  of  the  problem.  A  little  more  money  expended 
for  something  that  really  counts  will  repay  you  many  times  over  in  added 
convenience  and  comfort. 

For  the  young  man  and  woman,  home-building  is  particularly  desir¬ 
able.  Building  “on  the  installment  plan”  appeals  to  such  as  a  safe  way  to 
invest  surplus  funds,  however  small.  People  who  are  paying  for  their 
homes  in  this  way  must  of  necessity  be  more  cautious  of  expenditures  in 
order  to  meet  the  payments  required.  They  spend  less  on  trivial  things 
and  this  promotes  thrift.  Many'  who  now  possess  an  abundance  of  the 
world’s  goods  received  their  first  start  in  this  way.

Building  Your  Home 

AMERICA  may  well  be  proud  of  her  large  and  beautiful  homes  and  of 
the  architects  who  designed  them.  The  greater  number  of  small 
homes  in  all  parts  of  the  country,  however,  are,  with  few  exceptions, 
almost  uniformly  lacking  in  any  serious  attempt  at  convenience  of  arrange¬ 
ment  or  beauty  of  design. 

The  reason  for  this  is  apparent;  when  a  person  decides  to  build  a  home 
of  elaborate  proportions,  he  feels  the  need  of  a  competent  architect.  He 
has  the  means  to  employ  one,  and  he  usually  endeavors  to  engage  the 
services  of  the  best  he  can  obtain. 

On  the  other  hand,  the  man  of  moderate  means,  who  can  afford  only 
a  medium  priced  home,  realizes  that  it  is  only  through  the  most  rigid  econ¬ 
omy  that  he  can  hope  to  build  a  home  with  the  necessary  rooms,  finished 
in  the  simplest  style  possible. 

Probably  the  majority  of  men  in  these  circumstances  determine  at  the 
outset  that  they  will  build  without  the  services  of  an  architect.  The  archi¬ 
tects  themselves  are  largely  responsible  for  this  state  of  affairs,  too,  for 
many  of  the  prominent  men  in  the  profession  avoid  rather  than  seek  com¬ 
missions  for  building  small  houses. 

This  class  of  work,  as  a  rule,  does  not  yield  a  revenue  commensurate 
with  the  work  it  involves.  The  labor  in  making  drawings  and  specifica¬ 
tions  is  nearly  as  great  on  a  small  dwelling  as  on  a  large  one,  with  the  fee 
varying  in  proportion  to  the  cost.  Therefore,  the  architects  the  country 
over,  have  established  a  sliding  scale  of  charges  which  calls  for  a  higher 
percentage  on  the  smaller  class  of  work. 

Undoubtedly,  however,  the  chief  cause  of  the  non-employment  of  an 
architect  by  the  prospective  small-home  builder,  and  consequently  the  lack 
of  real  architectural  merit  which  is  so  universally  apparent  in  these  small 
houses,  is  due  to  a  misconception  on  the  part  of  the  man  who  is  about  to 
build. 

He  is  mistaken  in  thinking  that  he  will  economize  by  planning  the 
house  himself,  giving  loose  instructions  to  a  contractor,  or  in  attempting 
to  build  from  plans  furnished  by  the  contractor-carpenter  himself. 

In  thinking  that  he  can  really  secure  the  sort  of  home  he  wants,  and 
save  an  architect’s  fee,  he  is  committing  a  folly,  that  he  will  invariably 
realize,  to  his  everlasting  regret,  when  it  is  too  late. 

The  man  who  purposely  refrains  from  availing  himself  of  competent 
technical  skill  in  the  designing  of  his  home,  is  not  only  going  to  have  a  less 
convenient,  less  attractive,  and  less  well-built  house,  but  he  is  also  going 
to  spend  more  money  in  getting  it,  than  he  can  possibly  save  in  a  moderate 
charge  for  a  well  made  set  of  working  plans. 

One  may  ask,  what  is  the  mission  of  such  a  book  as  this,  if  the  per¬ 
sonal  taste  and  prejudice  of  the  owner  of  the  prospective  house  is  to  be 
shown  in  the  home  itself.  The  answer  is,  that  it  will  help  the  owner  to 
know  more  definitely  what  he  does  want,  what  other  people  have  found 
desirable  in  a  home,  and  what,  in  a  general  way,  constitutes  a  well  bal¬ 
anced,  economically  constructed,  livable  house. 

There  are  two  kinds  of  plans  to  be  had,  ready-made  plans  and  plans 
made  to  order.  Every  owner  must  decide  in  advance  which  he  will  use. 
The  advantages  of  ready-made  plans  are  that  they  are  economical  (because, 
having  been  built  many  times,  the  actual  cost  of  the  building  is  fairly  well 
determined  in  advance),  and  in  our  own  particular  case  each  plan  in  the 


10 


SAXTON  STUDIOS,  MINNEAPOLIS,  U.  S.  A. 


book  is  accompanied  by  a  photograph  of  the  actual  building.  Then,  the 
ready-made  plans  are  cheaper  because  architects  producing  them  sell  far 
and  wide  much  in  the  same  way  that  books  are  sold ;  therefore  they  can 
set  a  low  price  on  each  set  of  plans  and  still  make  a  fair  profit. 

The  many  plans  in  this  book  will  give  you  a  pretty  definite  impression 
of  what  your  home  should  be. 

If  this  book  can  suggest  to  the  layman  what  the  many  possibilities  are, 
for  his  future  home,  and  he  will  order  a  set  of  plans  that  best  suits  his 
requirements,  we  feel  sure  that  he  will  ever  after  be  numbered  among  our 
thousands  of  already  satisfied  clients. 

Some  General  Remarks. 

Our  plans  are  carefully  made  and  figured ;  drawn  to  *4  in.  scale  and 
specifications  fully  written  covering  the  building  in  every  detail. 

In  selecting  a  plan  always  remember  that  every  plan  can  be  reversed 
for  you  without  any  extra  charge.  By  reversing  it,  any  plan  can  be  made 
to  fit  an  east,  south,  west  or  north  exposure.  Reversing  the  plan  makes 
the  position  of  the  rooms  exactly  opposite  from  the  way  they  are  placed  in 
the  illustration  shown  in  this  book. 

A  minor  detail,  such  as  the  changing  of  a  door  or  window  from  one 
location  to  another,  is  a  simple  matter.  If  the  house  you  select  needs  only 
some  such  change  to  make  it  entirely  suitable  for  your  use,  we  appreciate 
the  opportunity  of  co-operating  with  you.  These  little  changes  are  easily 
and  quickly  made  and  will  cost  you  nothing  extra,  providing  they  do  4iot 
affect  the  outside  walls  or  outside  door  or  window  openings. 

Any  plan  illustrated  in  this  book  can  have  the  addition  of  a  sun  room 
or  a  sleeping  porch  added  to  it  if  desired,  for  the  nominal  additional  cost  of 
$5,  the  same  to  be  drawn  on  first  or  second  story  plan,  with  slip  sheet 
attached  to  be  placed  in  specifications. 

If  you  care  to  lay  out  your  own  idea  of  a  floor  plan,  make  a  rough 
sketch  of  same,  together  with  the  number  of  the  design  you  like  best,  and 
we  will  make  you  a  special  price  on  original  plans. 

Our  estimate  of  costs  are  based  upon  prices  actually  paid  within  the 
past  18  months  for  constructing  the  houses  found  in  this  book.  We  be¬ 
lieve  it  is  only  fair  to  our  prospective  client  to  treat  this  matter  of  cost 
honestly,  and  we  advise  him  (when  comparing  our  estimate  with  others, 
many  of  whom  estimate  50%  too  low)  not  to  be  misled  into  thinking  that 
we  have  not  given  the  matter  of  cost  painstaking  consideration.  The  prices 
found  herein  are  always  exclusive  of  heating  and  plumbing,  as  these  items 
are  liable  to  vary  considerably. 

For  the  heating  plant,  for  an  eight  room  house,  a  warm  air  furnace  at 
$200.00,  in  our  judgment,  would  be  very  satisfactory,  but  steam  or  hot 
water  will  cost  from  $300.00  to  $500.00. 

The  plumbing  for  an  average  house  could  be  put  in  economically  for 
$250  or  any  amount  over  that  you  care  to  pay. 

We  wish  to  state  that  our  plans  are  original  and  copyrighted  and  no 
one  has  a  right  to  use  one  without  our  consent.  If  you  see  one  of  the  plans 
contained  in  this  book  without  our  name  you  may  know  for  a  certainty 
that  it  is  only  a  poor  copy. 

Place  your  confidence  in  us  and  we  will  make  a  special  personal  effort 
to  see  that  you  get  just  what  you  want,  and  in  just  the  way  you  want  it. 
We  believe  we  can  satisfy  the  most  exacting  tastes,  if  you  will  give  us 
the  opportunity. 

There  are  many  things  to  be  said  about  planning  and  building  a  home ; 
in  fact,  enough  to  more  than  fill  this  book  without  any  illustrations,  but  the 


11 


BUNGALOWS,  COTTAGES,  RESIDENCES 

author  will  briefly  mention  a  few  of  the  really  important  points  to  be  con¬ 
sidered  when  building. 

There  has  been  in  the  past  an  almost  universal  disregard  of  matters 
that  are  very  helpful  and  useful  to  the  builder  of  a  home.  If  the  reader 
will  carefully  study  the  following  suggestions  and  be  guided  by  them  he 
will  be  more  than  repaid  for  his  time. 

Surety  Bonds  and  Liens. 

Have  a  complete  set  of  plans  and  specifications  and  insist  upon  the 
contractor  following  them  absolutely. 

Insist  upon  a  Surety  Bond  from  the  contractor  for  protection  against 
liens  in  case  the  contractor  fails  to  pay  any  of  his  bills.  Do  not  make  any 
changes  in  the  plans  after  letting  the  contract,  for  that  will  invariably 
make  a  loophole  for  the  Bonding  Company  to  escape  liability. 

If  you  have  never  done  any  building,  you  can  hardly  realize  what  it 
means  to  avoid  liens.  The  lien  laws  are  most  unfair  to  the  builder  of  a 
home  in  nearly  every  state.  Any  firm  who  has  furnished  material,  such  as 
cement,  plaster,  lumber,  mill  work,  etc.,  in  fact,  any  material  which  has 
gone  into  the  construction,  can  file  a  lien  on  your  property  and  compel  you 
to  pay  for  it  a  second  time  if  your  contractor  has  not  settled  his  accounts 
for  the  material  entering  into  the  construction  of  your  house,  and  unless 
you  have  taken  the  precaution  to  compel  your  contractor  to  furnish  you 
with  receipted  bills  or  other  evidence  of  payment  for  all  this  material  from 
the  concerns  who  have  supplied  it,  you  are  running  a  great  risk.  We  have 
known  of  scores  of  people  who,  after  having  paid  their  contractor  in  full, 
later  discovered  that  there  were  numerous  liens  filed  against  their  homes, 
which  necessitated  their  paying  for  many  items  a  second  time. 

By  a  little  precaution  you  can  overcome  all  of  these  difficulties  and 
make  the  building  of  a  home  a  pleasure  instead  of  a  hardship. 

A  Good  Rule  for  Computing  the  Cost  of  a  Frame  House. 

A  well-constructed  frame  dwelling,  including  modern  conveniences 
such  as  heating,  plumbing,  piping,  and  electric  wiring,  will  cost  approxi¬ 
mately  twenty  cents  per  cubic  foot. 

The  same  house  without  the  modern  conveniences  and  not  so  well  fin¬ 
ished  can  be  constructed  for  approximately  ten  cents  per  cubic  foot. 

To  find  the  number  of  cubic  feet  in  a  dwelling,  the  rule  is  to  measure 
the  cubical  contents  of  the  cellar,  first  floor,  second  floor  and  attic,  as  well 
as  the  wings,  hallways,  and  porches,  both  open  or  enclosed. 

Use  Good  Building  Paper. 

The  framework  of  a  house  is  usually  boarded  over  on  the  outside  with 
matched  boards,  which  are  in  turn  covered  over  with  a  thickness  of  build¬ 
ing  paper  snugly  fitted  around  the  doors  and  windows.  Building  paper  is 
really  of  great  importance,  for  it  is  the  paper  skin  that  keeps  out  the  wind. 
As  everyone  knows,  it  isn’t  the  low  temperature  of  winter  that  makes 
rooms  cold  as  much  as  it  is  the  icy  winds  seeking  out  every  crack  and 
crevice  in  the'  building,  and  through  them  entering  to  produce  those  frigid 
'‘drafts”  with  which  we  are  all  unfortunately  so  familiar. 

Watch  thoroughly,  then,  during  the  process  of  building  and  see  that 
building  paper  covers  every  portion  of  the  outside  walls.  Permit  no  cracks, 
however  small,  to  remain  uncovered. 

Sewage  Disposal 

A  sewage  disposal  plant  for  the  average  country  home  does  not  justify 
the  services  of  a  high-grade  sanitary  engineer.  Such  men  have,  put  their 
best  efforts  onto  big  plants,  where  the  reward  is  great,  and  so  it  happens 


12 


\ 


SAXTON  STUDIOS,  MINNEAPOLIS,  U.  S.  A. 

that  a  thousand  families  living  together  in  a  city  get  a  well-designed  and 
perfect  working  bacterial  sewage  disposal  system.  At  the  same  time  a 
thousand  families  living  separately  in  the  country  get  no  such  service  and 
are  unable  to  enjoy  the  same  benefits  as  their  friends  who  live  in  com¬ 
munities. 

This  condition  led  us  to  a  serious  study  of  the  whole  subject  of  sewage 
disposal,  with  the  result  that  we  are  now  able  to  give  our  clients  the  benefit 
of  our  investigations. 

We  have  prepared  plans,  after  the  most  approved  and  scientific  meth¬ 
ods,  of  a  sewage  disposal  tank — one  that  is  so  simple  in  design  that  anyone 
can  install  it. 

In  ordering  a  plan  for  a  sewage  disposal  tank,  state  the  number  of 
rooms  in  your  house  and  the  number  of  occupants. 

We  offer  our  plan  for  above  tank  with  full  working  specifications  and 
instructions  for  $10.00.  Send  for  further  information  on  “Sewage  Disposal, 
and  Its  Relation  to  the  Health  of  the  Family.” 

Working  Drawings. 

A  full  set  of  working  plans  comprise  the  floor  plans  of  all  stories 
drawn  to  one-quarter  inch  scale,  with  all  necessary  notes  and  figured 
dimensions  plainly  marked  on  same,  four  elevations  and  sections  showing 
the  method  of  construction,  size  of  timbers,  etc.,  as  well  as  all  necessary 
interior  and  exterior  details  with  full  explanations  of  same.  Also  an  original 
set  of  typewritten  specifications,  embracing  all  materials  and  labor  required 
for  the  completion  of  building,  masonry,  carpenter  work,  painting,  wiring, 
etc. 

One  full  set  of  blue-prints  and  one  copy  of  specifications  will  be  under¬ 
stood  to  complete  an  order.  Any  additional  copies  will  be  charged  for  at 
the  rate  of  five  dollars  for  a  full  set  of  blue-prints  and  specifications. 

Bill  of  Materials. 

Upon  request  we  will  furnish  a  bill  of  materials  for  any  design  in  the 
book  for  $5.  But  our  plans  and  specifications  are  so  prepared  that  esti¬ 
mates  for  lumber,  mill  work,  etc.,  can  be  made  directly  from  them,  with¬ 
out  going  to  the  unnecessary  expense  of  a  bill  of  material.  The  best  per¬ 
son  to  make  such  a  bill  is  the  contractor  or  builder  who  is  going  to  put  the 
material  into  the  building.  He  can  follow  his  own  bill  with  greater  econ¬ 
omy  than  one  made  by  someone  else. 

Any  person  who  has  purchased  a  set  of  our  plans  may  feel  at  perfect 
liberty  to  write  or  call  upon  us  during  the  progress  of  his  work  for  informa¬ 
tion  or  advice  pertaining  to  the  construction  of  same.  We  aim  to  have  our 
clients  so  well  pleased  with  our  plans  that  they  will  be  willing  to  recom¬ 
mend  us  to  their  friends  who  contemplate  the  building  of  a  home. 

How  to  Order  Plans. 

When  ordering  plans,  state  correctly  the  number  of  the  plan  desired 
and  as  to  whether  it  is  to  be  as  shown  in  the  book,  or  “reversed.”  As 
previously  stated,  this  means  a  transposition  of  the  rooms  from  one  side 
to  the  other.  We  will  blueprint  any  set  of  plans  “reversed”  without  extra 
charge. 

All  orders  for  plans  must  be  accompanied  by  your  check,  P.  O.  or  ex¬ 
press  money  order.  Plans  that  are  not  so  ordered  will  be  sent  to  your  bank 
with  draft  attached,  with  the  privilege  of  examination.

A  Modest  Bungalow — No.  854. 

This  is  a  very  good  plan  to  begin  with.  It  has  one  large  bedroom,  and  it  can 
be  arranged  to  have  one  room  in  the  attic  also.  In  this  design,  the  dining  room  is 
brought  forward,  making  an  arrangement  such  as  we  put  in 
very  expensive  homes.  The  living  room  has  an  open  fireplace 
and  a  high  window,  under  which  one  could  place  a  piano  or 
davenport.  The  kitchen  has  space  for  cupboards  and  a  door, 
leading  to  the  small  entry  at  the  rear,  where  there  is  space 
for  the  refrigerator.  The  porch  at  the  rear  is  very  con¬ 
venient.

rooms,  with  oak  floors;  balance  of  rooms,  pine  to  enamel

of  the  mentioned  materials  would  make  a  very  attractive 
exterior  for  this  little  home.  If  this  home  were  finished  in 
the  rough-cast  stucco  of  pure  white,  and  trimmings  of  moss 
green  or  a  chocolate  brown  with  a  shingled  roof,  stained  the 
same  color  as  the  trimmings,  a  very  pretty  bungalow  would  be  the  result.  One  could 
have  the  front  porch  screened  in  or  sashed  in  if  desired.

An  Attractive  Bungalow — No.  876. 

Any  one  wishing  to  build  a  bungalow,  or  a  home  where  all  of  the  rooms  are 
on  one  floor,  could  not  well  find  a  more  attractive  design  than  the  one  shown.  From 
the  piazza,  one  enters  into  a  vestibule  which 
has  a  coat  closet.  The  living  room  and 
dining  room  have  a  wide  opening  between 
and  the  fireplace  can  be  seen  from  either 
room.  In  the  living  room  there  is  a  pretty 
group  of  three  windows  at  the  front  and 
a  high  window  at  the  side,  under  which  the 
piano  would  be  placed,  while  the  dining 
room  has  a  projecting  square  bay  window, 
where  a  buffet  could  be  placed  very  nicely. 

There  is  a  large  kitchen  with  built-in  cup¬ 
boards  on  one  side.  The  rear  porch  is  very 
handy.  The  two  bedrooms  are  at  one  side 
of  the  house  with  the  bathroom  between. 

The  interior  is  finished  in  oak  for  the 
principal  living  rooms,  with  oak  floors;  bal¬ 
ance  of  rooms,  pine  to  enamel  with  birch 
or  maple  floors. 

This  design  could  be  carried  out  with 
shingles  or  siding.  Either  would  give  an

A  Comfortable  Bungalow  Home — No.  852. 


In  the  Southwestern  section  of  this  country,  where  the  bungalow  originated, 
the  term  refers  to  a  one-story  house  only.  A  house  that  is  a  story  and  a  half  or 
two  stories  is  never  spoken  of  as  a  bungalow.  We,  - — , 

in  this  section,  have  been  educated  to  live  in  flat  build¬ 
ings;  naturally  the  bungalow  will  appeal  to  us  more 
than  a  two-story  or  a  story  and  a  half  building,  and 
I  dare  say  that  within  the  next  five  or  six  years,  this 
type  of  building  is  going  to  predominate  over  the  whole 
United  States.  Here,  we  have  shown  a  five-room 
bungalow  with  the  living  rooms  at  the  front  of  the 
house,  the  kitchen,  bedrooms  and  bath  at  the  rear. 

There  is  an  abundance  of  store  room  in  the  attic,  and 
if  you  choose  you  can  finish  two  rooms  in  this  space, 
but  it  is  not  intended  to  be  finished  at  this  price. 

Birch  or  oak  finish  in  principal  living  rooms,  with 
oak  floors;  balance  of  rooms,  pine  to  enamel  with  birch  or  maple  floors. 

The  exterior  is  finished  of  siding,  shingles  or  stucco.  Here  we  have  it  finished 
with  the  wide  siding.  The  trimmings  are  all  ivory  white  on  this  design  in  contrast 
to  the  dark  color  on  the  main  part  of  the  house  and  the  shingles  on  the  roof. 


Size — Width,  34  feet;  depth,  36  feet  over  main  part. 
First  story  ceiling,  9  feet. 

Full  basement;  ceiling,  7  feet.

There  is  a  vestibule  and  a  good  sized  coat 
closet  as  you  enter.  The  living  room  has  fine 
wall  space  for  large  pieces  of  furniture.  The

A  Bungalow  of  Sunshine — No.  85. 

We  consider  this  one  of  our  best  bungalow  plans.  It  contains  six  nice  rooms, 
all  arranged,  conveniently  and  economically.  Notice  the  beautiful  long  living  room 
with  the  open  fireplace  at  one  end,  and  the 
section  that  forms  a  nook.  There  are  two 
built-in  seats  at  either  side  of  this  nook. 

Above  one  is  a  ledge  shelf  with  three  small 
windows  above  the  same.  The  hall  in  the 
center  leads  to  the  dining  room  at  the  rear, 
to  the  bathroom  or  to  either  bedroom,  at 
the  front.  There  is  a  pantry  at  the  rear  of 
the  kitchen.  The  dining  room  has  a  built- 
in  sideboard  and  a  group  of  three  windows 
on  one  side. 

The  interior  is  oak  finish  for  the  prin¬ 
cipal  living  rooms,  with  oak  floors;  bal¬ 
ance  of  rooms,  pine  to  enamel  with  birch 
or  maple  floors. 

The  exterior  of  this  design  could  be 
sided,  shingled  or  stuccoed,  any  one  of 
which  would  give  an  artistic  effect.  Here 
we  have  the  siding  brought  up  to  the  belt 
course  and  the  shingles  in  the  gables.  Trim¬

An  Artistic  Bungalow — No.  841. 


People  who  have  been  accustomed  to  living  in  fiats  will  find  themselves  per¬ 
fectly  at  home  in  a  bungalow  built  after  this  plan.  There  are  two  fine  bedrooms 
with  ample  closet  space,  a  large  living  room, 
an  equally  large  dining  room,  convenient 
kitchen  with  pantry  at  rear,  and  a  fine 
bathroom,  besides  a  reception  room  that 
has  a  coat  closet  and  a  built-in  seat  with 
a  window  above. 

The  interior  finish  is  oak  for  the  prin¬ 
cipal  living  rooms  with  oak  floors;  the  bal¬ 
ance  of  rooms  is  pine  to  enamel  with  birch 
or  maple  floors. 

The  porch  at  the  front  is  very  unique 
and  gives  a  cozy  appearance  to  this  pretty 
little  bungalow.  The  design  that  is  shown 
is  built  of  siding,  but  one  could  carry  the 
exterior  out  with  shingles  or  stucco  just 
as  well,  obtaining  a  pretty  effect.  The 
roof  is  stained  a  dark  brown  or  a  moss 
green.  There  is,  in  my  estimation,  every¬ 
thing  incorporated  in  this  design  to  make 
one’s  home  complete.  As  a  lake,  city  or 
country  home,  it  could  not  be  beat.

A  Bungalow  Home — No.  896. 

The  purpose  of  building  a  bungalow  is  to  get  all  of  the  living  rooms  and  the 
sleeping  rooms  as  well,  on  the  first  floor.  This  design  shows  us  that  it  can  be  done 


along  these  lines,  for  the  least  amount  of 
money.  The  living  room  is  entered  by  an 
archway  opening  from  the  vestibule.  The 
dining  room  is  then  in  the  rear  of  the  liv¬ 
ing  room  and  leads  to  the  kitchen  and  hall. 
The  kitchen  is  arranged  to  give  the  most 
convenience  possible.  The  two  bedrooms 
are  good  sized  and  have  each  a  clothes 
closet.  There  is  a  good  sized  bathroom. 
The  arrangement  of  the  rooms  is  excep¬ 
tionally  good  and  will  save  a  great  deal 
of  work  for  the  housewife. 

The  interior  finish  for  the  principal  liv¬ 
ing  room  is  oak  with  oak  floors;  balance 
of  rooms,  pine  to  enamel  with  birch  or 
maple  floors. 

The  exterior  is  finished  in  clapboarding, 
stained  any  dark  color  that  the  owner  may 
desire,  with  trimmings  of  ivory  white.  It 
could  also  be  carried  out  with  the  siding, 
painted  a  light  color  and  trimmings  of  a 
dark  color,  also  giving  an  attractive  effect. 
Stucco  as  well  as  shingles  can  be  used  for 
this  exterior.  The  shingles  on  the  roof  are 
stained  a  dark  brown  or  a  moss  green.

This  design  and  its  floor  plan  are  exceedingly  interesting  and  will  bear  consid¬

opposite  side,  making  a  house  that  can  be 
taken  care  of  with  the  least  amount  of  labor. 

The  dining  room  has  a  built-in  sideboard  and 
a  coat  closet.  The  kitchen  makes  up  what  it

sink;  nearness  to  the  dining  room;  the  drain 
board  and  moulding  table  under  the  windows 
all  tend  to  accomplish  a  convenient  arrange¬ 
ment.  The  refrigerator  is  so  located  that  it 
is  easily  accessible  from  the  dining  room  and 
yet  can  be  iced  without  having  the  ice  man 
enter  the  kitchen.  There  is  a  combination 
cellar  stairway  and  outside  entrance. 

The  interior  finish  is  oak  with  oak  floors 
for  the  principal  living  rooms;  balance  of 
rooms,  pine  to  enamel  with  birch  or  maple

The  exterior  is  finished  in  siding,  stained 
a  dark  color  with  trimmings  of  ivory  white. 

The  front  piazza  is  screened  in  for  summer 
use  and  sashed  in  for  winter  use.  The  shin¬ 
gles  are  stained  a  moss  green.  This  would

This  is  an  example  of  the  type  of  houses,  which  are  being  built  so  extensively  in 
California,  the  land  of  beautiful  homes.  Its  popularity  is  undoubtedly  due  to  its 
beautiful  exterior.  The  interior  arrangement  is  equally  as  attractive  and  conven¬ 
ient.  There  is  a  small  vestibule  which  leads  into  the  living  room,  dining  room  or 
to  the  combination  stairway.  The  dining  room  is  beautiful  with  its  beamed  ceiling, 
built-in  sideboard  and  two  groups  of  windows.  The  living  room  opens  into  the 
library  by  columned  archways.  There  is  an  open  fireplace  in  the  library  and  a  door 
leading  to  the  kitchen.  An  economical  feature  is  the  position  of  the  chimney  which 
provides  a  flue  for  the  fire-place,  one  for  the  heating  plant  and  also  for  the  kitchen 
range,  a  combination,  which  eliminates  an  extra  chimney  and  saves  probably  $120.00.

THE  WONDER  HOUSE 

(See  following  three  pages.) 

New  England  Colonial  Design — Plan  No.  966 

This  plan  is  unique  as  it  is  the  only  plan  designed  up  to  the  present  time,  that 
can  be  adapted  to  five  distinct  styles  of  Architecture  without  changing  the  doors 
or  windows,  or  materially  affecting  the  general  plan  in  any  way.  We  have  this 
floor  layout  made  up  as  an  Old  New  England  Colonial,  Georgian  Colonial,  English 
Elalf-Timber,  Spanish  Mission  and  Craftsman  Designs.  The  floor  plan  shows  a 
home,  which  is  complete.  In  the  sun  room,  there  is  a  radiator,  making  this  room 
livable  365  days  out  of  the  year.  The  other  up-to-date  features  have  been  likewise 
carefully  carried  out. 

The  interior  is  finished  in  pine  or  birch  throughout,  enameled  white,  with  doors 
of  mahogany.  Birch  or  maple  floors  throughout. 

The  exterior  of  this  attractive  design  is  carried  out  with  the  brick  to  the  first 
story  window  sills  and  the  narrow  siding,  painted  white  above.  The  shingles  on 
the  gables,  front  entrance  and  main  roof  are  stained  a  moss  green.  One  would  at 
once  be  attracted  by  this  beautiful  design. 

Georgian  Colonial  Design — Plan  No.  966A 

The  interior  is  finished  in  pine  or  birch  throughout,  enameled  white,  with  doors 
of  mahogany.  Birch  or  maple  floors  throughout. 

For  an  artistic  exterior,  one  cannot  find  a  prettier  home  than  this.  The  red 
pressed  brick  is  carried  up  to  the  first  story  window  sills,  and  the  pure  white  rough¬ 
cast  cement  above  this.  On  the  entrance  roof,  projecting  bay  roof,  and  in  the  gables 
there  are  shingles,  stained  a  moss  green  like  the  main  roof.  The  projecting  eaves 
and  all  trim  are  painted  an  ivory  white. 

English  Half  Timber  Design — Plan  No.  966B 

The  red  pressed  brick  is  carried  up  to  the  first  story  window  sills  on  this  de¬ 
sign.  The  balance  of  the  house  is  carried  out  with  the  rough-cast  cement  and  the 
English  Half-Timbers,  designed  in  a  neat  and  attractive  manner.  The  trimmings 
and  English  Half-Timber  are  painted  an  ivory  white  in  contrast  to  the  rough-cast, 
which  is  of  a  suitable  color,  selected  by  the  owner.  There  is  a  very  pretty  entrance 
porch  on  this  design,  which  is  carried  out  to  correspond  with  the  rest  of  the  house. 

The  interior  is  finished  in  red  gum,  birch  or  oak,  finished  a  soft  brown  for  the 
principal  living  rooms,  with  oak  or  birch  floors;  balance  of  rooms,  pine  to  enamel 
white,  with  maple  or  birch  floors. 

Spanish  Mission  Design — Plan  No.  966C 

Picturesque  Spain  has  here  given  us  the  beauty  of  this  design.  To  one  who 
admires  and  is  looking  for  a  charming  home,  this  one  will  attract  attention  as  well 
as  please  in  every  way.  Pure  white  stucco  is  used  for  the  body  of  the  design,  with 
a  roof,  stained  a  moss  green.  The  red  pressed  brick,  carried  up  to  the  first  story 
window  sills,  adds  to  the  beauty  of  color  and  design.  The  steps  and  entrance  porch 
floor  is  out  of  pure  white  cement.  Everything  is  perfectly  carried  out  to  obtain  the 
desired  Spanish  Mission  effect. 

The  interior  is  finished  in  red  gum,  birch  or  oak,  finished  a  soft  brown  for  the 
principal  living  rooms,  with  oak  or  birch  floors;  balance  of  rooms,  pine  to  enamel 
white,  with  maple  or  birch  floors. 

Craftsman  Design — Plan  No.  966D 

The  roof  of  this  design  is  stained  a  moss  green  as  are  the  shingles  on  the  front 
bay  window  and  entrance  porch  roofs.  The  main  part  of  the  house  is  covered  with 
rough-cast  cement,  with  trimmings  and  projecting-  eaves  of  ivory  white.  The  red 
pressed  brick  comes  up  to  the  first  story  window  sills.  The  combination  of  ma¬

front  piazza  is  very  pretty  with  its  low  roof  and  wide  projecting  eaves  to  corre¬ 
spond  with  the  style  of  the  main  roof.

A  four  family  flat  building  is  a  good  investment  for  a  man  either  in  a  small 
village  or  in  a  large  city  as  by  building  four  living  apartments  all  under  one  roof  on 
the  same  foundation,  you  get  a  more  eco¬ 
nomical  investment  than  you  .  would  to 
build  four  detached  cottages.  In  this  de¬ 
sign  the  arrangement  of  the  floor  plan  is 
very  good.  The  living  and  dining  rooms 
are  both  at  the  front  of  the  house  with  the 
kitchen  in  the  center  and  the  two  chambers 
at  the  rear.  Notice  that  each  room  has  an 
outside  wall  exposure.  The  sleeping  porch 
is  entered  from  the  dining  room  by  French 
doors.  There  is  a  built-in  sideboard  in  the 
dining  room  and  handy  cupboard  space  in 
the  kitchen.  The  bathroom  is  always  light 
and  airy  as  it  is  on  an  outside  wall. 

The  interior  of  this  building  is  oak  with 
oak  floors  for  the  principal  living  rooms; 
balance  of  rooms,  pine  to  enamel  white  with 
birch  or  maple  floors. 

The  exterior  is  very  attractive.  The 
red  pressed  brick  is  used  for  this  design, 
giving  us  a  very  pretty  and  artistic  effedt. 

The  entrance  porch  adds  to  the  attractiveness  of  this  building  as  well  as  the  low 
roof.  This  building  is  also  planned  with  brick  to  the  first  story  window  sills  and 
rough-cast  above. 


Size — Width,  52  feet;  depth,  40  feet  over  main  part. 
First  story  ceiling,  9  feet;  second  story  ceiling,  9  feet. 
Full  basement;  ceiling,  7  feet.

A  Practical  Four  Flat  Building — No.  850 

This  design  has  been  very  much  admired  and  built  from  the  eastern  to  the 
western  coast.  Each  apartment  has  the  capacity  of  three  chambers,  which  is  a 
very  attractive  feature  for  a  flat  building.  The  central  hall  connects  the  rear  part  of 
the  house  with  the  living  room. 

The  finish  for  the  principal  living  rooms  is  oak  with  oak  floors;  balance  of 
rooms,  pine  to  enamel  with  birch  or  maple  floors. 

The  exterior  has  an  impressing  appearance,  being  that  of  a  sturdy  Colonial  style 
of  architecture,  which  will  look  the  same  twenty  years  from  now  as  it  does  on  com¬ 
pletion.  The  porch  is  very  stately  and  adds  to  the  attractiveness  of  this  design. 
The  building  is  carried  out  in  red  pressed  brick.  The  trimmings  are  painted  an  ivory 
white.  The  front  steps  and  piazza  floor  are  of  white  cement.

INTERIORS. 

THE  following  collection  of  Interiors  was  formerly  published  in  our 
book  of  interiors,  now  a  part  of  this  book.  It  had  a  distinct  purpose, 
being  a  companion  to  our  former  edition,  “American  Dwellings/' 
a  book  of  actual  views  of  exteriors  and"  floor  plans  of  the  homes  built  by 
Glenn  L.  Saxton  Studios.  These  houses  and  interiors,  some  of  which  are 
reproduced  in  this  volume,  are  not  “Architect’s  Dreams,”  but  realties,  and 
the  distinct  purpose  of  this  chapter  is  to  show  the  prospective  home-builder 
just  how  the  inside  of  his  home  is  going  to  look.  To  the  man  or  woman 
who  is  not  acquainted  with  plans  and  blue-prints,  these  suggestions  should 
be  of  great  benefit. 

In  the  last  section  of  this  book  we  show  a  number  of  interior  views  of 
some  of  our  cozy  homes. 

Each  interior  is  taken  from  one  of  the  actual  rooms  in  the  designs 
shown  in  this  book.  Below  each  interior  view  is  a  reference,  giving  the 
number  of  the  design  and  page  from  which  the  interior  is  taken. 

Some  people  of  only  moderate  means  seem  to  have  a  mistaken  idea  of 
the  cost  involved  in  installing  modern,  up-to-date  labor  and  time-saving 
conveniences  and  believe  these  things  to  be  beyond  their  reach.  Read  the 
following  pages  and  you  will  get  some  idea  of  how  a  well-equipped  home 
can  be  built  for  a  reasonable  expenditure  of  money. 


Living  Rooms. 

We  invariably  plan  for  an  abundance  of  light  and  ventilation  in 
the  living  room.  We  always  provide  wall  space  large  enough  for  a 
piano  or  other  large  piece  of  furniture.  When  the  living  room  has  a 
fireplace,  you  may  rest  assured  it  is  designed  by  an  architect  who  under¬ 
stands  every  essential  of  this  important  adjunct  to  the  livable  home.  The 
fireplace  should  have  a  separate  flue,  never  less  than  8x12  inches,  and  a 
damper  with  handle  on  the  face  of  tile  or  brick,  to  control  the*  draft.  The 
fireplace,  besides  giving  the  best  ventilation  that  a  room  can  possibly  have,, 
helps  make  this  room  cheerful  and  cozy  on  winter  evenings. 

Sun  Room. 

The  sun  room  is  a  feature  that  has  become  very  popular  with  the  build¬ 
ing  public  in  the  last  four  or  five  years  and  is  adapted  to  most  any  style  of 
house.  It  is  really  the  most  valuable  asset  of  the  entire  home  on  account 
of  its  light,  sunshine  and  fresh  air.  It  is  converted  into  a  pleasant  porch  in 
the  summer  time  and  is  the  most  delightful  room  throughout  the  winter, 
being  supplied  with  heat  the  same  as  the  rest  of  the  house.  Having  a  sun 
room,  one  can  dispense  with  a  large  piazza  on  one  or  two  sides  of  the  house 
which  darken  the  rooms  and  shut  out  the  sunshine.  In  northern  climates 
these  outside  porches  can  only  be  used  about  three  months  out  of  the  year 
while  a  sun  room  is  a  joy  throughout  the  twelve  months. 

Dining  Room. 

A  dining  room  should  always  be  well  lighted  and  ample  wall  space 
should  be  left  for  built-in  or  portable  buffets,  sideboards  or  china  closets. 
Paneled  wainscoting  and  beamed  ceilings  greatly  enhance  the  beauty  of 
this  room. 


196 


SAXTON  STUDIOS,  MINNEAPOLIS,  U.  S.  A. 


The  Stairway. 

The  stairway  is  really  one  "of  the  most  conspicuous  features  in  a  home. 
It  can  make  or  mar  the  most  beautiful  surroundings  and  consequently 
should  be  given  special  attention  by  the  architect. 

The  properly  constructed  stairway  must  be  worked  out  on  some  of  the 
same  principles  as  a  problem  in  arithmetic.  The  building  of  the  stairway, 
therefore,  is  an  art  as  well  as  a  science. 

There  are  numerous  well  defined  rules  governing  the  building  of  a 
stairway  and  if  any  of  these  rules  are  not  observed,  the  result  shows  a  lack 
of  architectural  skill  at  a  glance.  Stairways  should  always  be  carefully 
planned,  with  a  wide  approach  when  possible,  and  care  must  be  taken  to 
have  ample  head  room,  wide  treads  and  risers  of  just  the  right  height. 

The  Kitchen. 

An  ideal  kitchen  is  the  one  thing  which  every  woman  desires,  and  we 
regret  to  say,  so  few  of  them  really  possess.  The  modern  housewife’s  idea 
of  a  kitchen  has  changed  radically  from  the  ideas  of  her  mother’s  time.  A 
few  years  ago  the  kitchen  was  the  largest  room  in  the  house  and  compelled 
the  housewife  or  maid  to  take  thousands  of  unnecessary  steps  in  the  course 
of  a  day’s  work. 

The  modern  kitchen  of  today  is  small,  compact,  and  has  a  place  for 
everything  and  everything  in  its  place.  The  modern  architect  gives  as 
much  thought  to  the  planning  of  the  kitchen  as  to  any  other  room  in  the 
house.  He  provides  the  most  convenient  place  for  the  sink,  usually  under 
a  window,  with  proper  provision  for  the  drain  board.  There  is  always 
sufficient  space  allowed  for  the  range  and,  in  fact,  for  every  other  fixture 
for  this  room,  not  forgetting  the  all-important  refrigerator.  Proper  loca¬ 
tion  for  lights,  outlets  and  receptacles  for  gas  or  electric  iron,  fans,  etc., 
even  to  a  wrought  iron  ventilating  pipe  for  hood  over  the  range  to  carry  off 
the  odors  from  the  cooking,  all  receive  his  painstaking  attention. 


A  Modern  Laundry. 

Fifty  years  ago,  Monday  was  always  called  “Blue  Monday”  on  account 
of  the  confusion  and  gloom  it  generally  cast  over  the  entire  household 
when  the  tubs  and  steaming  boiler  were  brought  into  the  kitchen  for  the 
week’s  washing. 

Today,  if  you  will  allow  us  to  design  your  new  home,  we  will  incor¬ 
porate  a  laundry  in  the  basement  that  will  transform  “Blue  Monday” 
into  “Sunny  Monday,”  a  day  relieved  of  its  traditional  drudgery. 

You  may  have  a  power  washer,  electric  or  steam  dryer,  gas  or  electric 
mangle  for  ironing  the  flat  pieces  and  a  gas  or  electric  iron  for  the  finest 
linens  or  lingerie  and  best  of  all,  an  electric  iron  to  relieve  you  of  unneces¬ 
sarily  heating  the  entire  kitchen. 


The  Chambers. 

The  designing  of  a  chamber  is  one  of  the  architect’s  most  important 
duties.  It  should  be  the  least  pretentious  and  most  restful  room  in  the 
house.  Simplicity  should  be  its  keynote. 

The  vital  things  to  be  considered  are :  windows  on  two  sides  for 
ventilation ;  abundance  of  wall  space  for  double  or  twin  beds,  dressers, 
dressing  tables,  etc.  No  chamber  should  be  designed  without  ample  space 
for  the  bed  to  be  moved  to  at  least  two  positions  when  desired.

Bathroom. 

A  simple  and  sanitary  bathroom  is  a  luxury  which  is  now  within  the 
reach  of  everyone,  in  this  modern  day  of  home  planning.  Ventilation  and 
light  are  the  most  essential  points  to  be  considered  in  every  bathroom, 
regardless  of  its  size.  There  is  no  part  of  the  home  where  such  wonderful 
strides  have  been  made  in  late  years  as  in  the  equipment  of  the  bathroom. 

It  is  gratifying  to  know  that  the  desirable  and  beautiful  fixtures  which 
were  once  considered  luxuries  are  now  within  the  reach  of  nearly  every 
homebuilder. 

Beautiful  enamel  iron  tubs,  vitreous  bowls,  modern  noiseless  closets 
and  sanitary  metal  wall  cabinets  with  mirrored  doors  are  conveniences 
which  every  householder  should  enjoy  and  are  now  found  in  every  well  ' 
constructed  home. 


Closet. 

A  real  modern  closet  is  “Milady’s”  delight.  Not  the  little  stuffy  affairs, 
jammed  in  just  anywhere,  but  closets  of  ample  size  containing  hat  boxes, 
large  drawers  for  gowns  and  skirts  and  everything  conveniently  arranged. 
A  few  years  ago  a  good  wife  no  doubt  indulged  in  some  very  un-Christian 
like  thoughts  when  she  was  forced  to  grope  around  in  the  dark  closet  for 
her  favorite  gown  or  slippers.  Now  when  she  wishes  to  select  her  gown, 
the  electric  light  in  the  closet  is  automatically  turned  on  when  she  opens 
the  closet  door,  and  automatically  turned  off  when  she  closes  it. 

Good  closet  space  is  invaluable.  Most  of  the  things  mentioned,  how¬ 
ever,  are  within  your  reach  and  you  can  have  them  at  a  small  cost  if  you 
will  employ  an  architect  who  makes  a  specialty  of  designing  homes. 


Sleeping  Porch. 

A  well  ventilated  sleeping  porch  is  the  pet  hobby  of  the  author.  The 
sleeping  porch  in  our  estimation,  is  one  of  the  best  investments  that  a 
home-builder  can  make.  Here  you  breathe  the  fresh,  pure  air  during  your 
sleeping  hours,  which  is  one  of  the  best  ways  of  keeping  yourself  in  perfect 
physical  condition.  A  sleeping  porch  is  something  every  house,  little  or 
big,  should  have.

New  Roofing  Discovery 

Works  Wonders  in  Beautifying  Home! 

For  the  Simplest  and  Grandest  Homes 

Charming  Moorish  beauty  and  dignity  of  appearance  of  Metal  Spanish  Tile  gives  an  air 
of  distinction  to  the  home  graced  by  this  wonderful  new  and  practically  indestructible  roofing. 

It  has  taken  home  builders  of  America  by  storm,  for  it  is  the  modernization  of  the 
wonderfully  beautiful  roofs  of  historic  Spanish  edifices. 

The  art  of  making  this  roofing,  left  behind  by  the  fleeing  Moors  driven  out  of  Spain  cen¬ 
turies  ago,  until  1910  could  not  be  made  practical  for  the  modern  home,  despite  its  alluring 
beauties. 

After  years  of  experiment  we  have  hit  the  solution.  That  is  why  today  we  are  able  to 
offer  American  homes  the  amazing  attractiveness  of 


Metal  Spanish  Tile  Roofing 


Its  scores  of  vital,  practical  advantages  cost  no  more 
than  common  roofing,  yet  mean  tremendous  economy — it 
needs  no  repairs  and  outlasts  several  ordinary  roofs  because 
of  its  practically  indestructible  metal  construction. 

It  is  absolutely  wind,  weather,  storm,  fire  and  lightning 
proof. 

Easy  to  apply.  No  soldering,  no  special  tools — any 
mechanic  can  apply  it. 

Interlocking  system  by  which  tiles  dovetail  into  each 
other  makes  the  roof  absolutely  water  tight  and  provides 
for  expansion  and  contraction  perfectly  —  summer  and 
winter. 

It  is  guaranteed  non-breakable. 

Home  Builders:  Simply  send  us  today  the  dimensions

Ceil-Board,  the  latest  and  most  scientific 
wall  and  ceiling  material,  is  used  in  all 
classes  of  buildings  instead  of  plaster. 

Ceil-Board  panels  are  made  of  layers  of 
tough  fibre  cemented  together  under  tre¬ 
mendous  pressure  with  a  mineral  water¬ 
proof  cement.  Each  panel  is  triple  sized 
against  moisture  absorption  and  suction  in 
painting.  The  fibre  stock  is  sized  through  and  through  and  the  completed  panel  is  sized  on  both  surfaces.  This  sizing 
renders  Ceil-Board  immune  to  attacks  of  atmospheric  moisture  and  makes  for  great  economy  in  painting. 

Ceil-Board  is  an  excellent  insulator  against  temperature  and  an  effective  sound  deadener.  Water  nor  moisture  can 
penetrate  through  it.  It  is  unaffected  by  shocks,  jars,  vibration  or  the  settling  of  buildings.  It  cannot  crack  or  fall. 

Ceil-Board  comes  in  panels  32  and  48  inches  wide  and  from  5  to  16  feet  long.  It  can  be  applied  irrespective  of 
weather  conditions  and  as  soon  as  applied,  it  is  ready  for  painting.  Send  ug  r  plans  Qr  sketches

How  About  the  Wall  Lining 
of  your  New  Home? 

That  is  as  important  as  any 
other  item  in  your  plans.  Don’t

with  greater  resistance  to  moisture, 
cold  and  heat — something  more

made  like  this. 


Compo-Board  makes  walls  as  smooth  as 
plaster  walls.  Does  not  have  to  be  paneled. 
It  is  rigid  and  does  not  shrink.  (You  can 
panel  it,  if  you  wish.)  It  can  be  papered, 
painted,  kalsomined  or  decorated  by  any 
other  method.  It  can’t  shrink  or  warp, 
because  of  the  patented  construction. 


The  strips  for  paneling,  the  painting  and 
other  labor  add  about  V2  cent  per  square 
foot  to  the  cost  of  other  wall  boards — an 
extra  cost  that  is  not  required  when  you 
use  Compo-Board. 

Be  sure  you  get  the  genuine — when  you 
specify  Compo-Board — the  kind  with  the 
wood  core  and  the  name  on  the  surface. 


Sold  by  dealers  everywhere  in  sheets  4 
feet  wide  and  1  to  18  feet  long.  Write  for

OAK  FLOORING 


BEA  UTIFUL— DISTINCTIVE 
SUBSTANTIAL 

THREE  VITAL  QUALITIES 

THE  owners  always  emphasize  OAK 
FLOORING  in  newspaper  ads  when 
they  offer  their  houses  for  sale  or  for 
rent.  They  know  OAK  FLOORING  in¬ 
creases  the  selling  or  renting  values,  be¬ 
sides  attracting  a  better  class  of  buyers  or 
renters. 

For  bungalows  and  moderate  cost 
houses  3-8  inch  OAK  FLOORING,  CLEAR 
Plain  or  SELECT  Plain  is  the  ideal  flooring, 
because  it  is  very  economical  in  cost,  and 
when  laid  has  the  appearance  of  13-16  inch 
flooring. 

The  woman  of  today  wants  OAK  FLOORING  be¬ 
cause  it  will  harmonize  with  any  kind  of  furniture  or 
color  decoration,  besides  being  susceptible  to  any  kind  of 
finish.  In  color  it  is  rich  and  cheerful  and  imparts 
an  air  of  refinement  and  elegance  to  a  home. 

OAK  FLOORING  is  made  in  13-16-inch  and  3-8-inch 
thicknesses  in  different  grades,  so  that  any  building  from  the 
most  pretentious  to  the  most  modest  can  be  floored  with 
OAK  FLOORING  at  a  price  to  fit  the  pocket-book. 

There  is  a  solid  satisfaction  and  lasting  pleasure 
in  the  substantial  and  dignified  appearance  of  OAK 
FLOORING.-

PERGOLA  DAYS  ARE  HERE 


and  CYPRESS  is  the  pre-eminent  pergola  wood  because  “CYPRESS  lasts  forever” — DEFIES  ROT-INFLU*

After  many  centuries  of  dignified  and  unchallenged 
supremacy,  OAK, “The  pride  of  the  permanent  home,” 
remains  today  the  world’s  premier  hardwood.  (And 
everybody  knows  it.)  OAK  is  the  first  hardwood  you 
naturally  think  of,  and  the  last  for  which  you  will  ever 
relinquish  your  inherited  preference. 

GOOD  OAK  FURNITURE 

justifies  a  keen  search,  a  critical  insistence  and  a  special 
order  if  need  be.  One  can  make  no  nobler  bequest. 


OAK  INTERIOR  TRIM  for  HOMES  and  PUBLIC  BUILDINGS 

is  desired  by  the  well-informed  not  only  because  of  its  historic  ex¬ 
cellence  as  a  cabinet  wood  and  its  inborn  trait  of  “staying  put,”  but 
also  because,  by  reason  of  centuries  of  respectful  familiarity,  there 
is  an  inbred  accuracy  in  handling  OAK  among  those  who  work  in 
woods.  They  know  how  to  get  the  best  results  without  experiment.

CONSIDERATION 

WHEN  planning  a  home  there  is  no  part  of  the  building 
requires  as  much  consideration  as  the  heating  appar¬ 
atus,  as  the  comfort  and  health  of  your  family  and  friends  depends  largely  on 
the  heating  apparatus  for  seven  months  of  the  year. 

There  are  various  ways  of  artificially  warming  the  home,  ranging 
from  the  old  fashioned  fire  grate  up  to  the  modern  self  regulating  hot  water 
heating  system. 

The  artificial  heat  furnished  from  the  modern  hot  water  heating 
system  is  mild  and  keeps  the  building  heated  at  an  even  temperature  at 
all  times,  thus  avoiding  the  over  heating  or  under  heating  of  the  rooms,  and  it 
is  recognized  by  the  leading  heating  engineers  of  the  country  as  being  the  most 
serviceable,  durable  and  economical  method  for  heating  homes. 

With  the  D.  &  T.  Self  Regulating  Hot  Water  Heating  System  you 
are  assured  an  even  temperature  throughout  the  building  at  all  times  and  will 
make  your  house  a  home.

in  positively  assuring  a 
warm  house  are  our 

Challenge  Asphalt  House

will  repay  you  well  for  your 
wisdom  in  selecting  them.

estimated. 


This  is  the  Safety  Detachable 
Storm  Sash! 

THIS  SAFETY  DETACHABLE  STORM  SASH  goes  on  from 
the  inside. 

IT  raises  and  lowers  instantly  in  various  positions  for  ventilating  purposes 
and  can  be  operated  only  from  the  inside.  It  is  burglar  and  sneak-thief  proof. 

FITTING  snugly  into  place  FROM  THE  INSIDE  it  is  storm  and 
weather  proof,  a  fuel  saver. 

JUST  a  simple,  slip-into-place,  easily  installed  storm  sash — requiring  no 
ladder,  hammer,  nails,  screws,  and  eliminates  dangers  from  falls,  shattered 
glass  and  unsafe  ladders.
